Check if Help 2.0 is installed

iulianionescu · 23rd April 2004, 14:57

Hi, I am using NSIS for a .Net application and I have this problem: if the user doesn't have MSHelp 2.0 installed (which comes with Visual Studio or the Framework SDK) the proggy that tries to incorporate my help files into the visual studio integrated help gives an error message. I want to be able to check first if the MSHelp 2.0 is installed and if not skip the help registration. Does anybody know if this is possible by reading some registry entries?

Thank you!
Iulian

Try using the IfFileExists, searching for the apropiate viewer.
